The event will be in support of two local charities this year. Keri Jensen, Realtor with Royal LePage and committee member for the event, says the Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter is the first charity as the topic is of national importance for the company. Secondly, donations will also be going to the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre to help the organization in obtaining a new therapy dog which, they say, costs around $50,000.

“Both charities are in great need of our help. We’ve come off of a few really bad years and hard years for them so they both need a lot of help right now and a lot of funding,” she said.

The event is truly a full-day affair. For a select few, a VIP Prestige Party Bus will pick them up before the event for a pub crawl where they will travel to three locations for food, drinks and live entertainment. At the main event, alongside a live and silent auction, attendees can enjoy food trucks, wine and beer gardens, a 50/50 draw, entertainment and more. At the end, everyone is invited to an after party.

This year will mark the company’s 10^th annual charity event. In nine years, Royal LePage says they have raised over $500,000 with all proceeds going directly to local shelters.

“Honestly, this is why I do my job; so that we can create more opportunities and give back to the community,” she said. “We want to support locally.”

Attendees can register for $10 at www.rlpcharity.ca.
